ing their Philadelphia stay. The band will be
dressed in gorgeous fashion in Mexican uni-
forms, carrying out the atmosphere of the song
which it will feature. The twenty-four voices
of the Shrine Chanters will also sing the num-
ber. This should be very helpful in furthering
the interest of "Mexicali Rose."
Final Music Contests
in New York June 7
New York Music Week Association to Hold
Interborough Finals During That Week
An extensive program for the interborough
contests of the New York Music Week Associa-
tion during the week of June 7 was announced
recently by Miss Isabel Lowden, director of the
association. The contestants appearing at these
sessions will be those who have won medals in
their borough districts.
The managements of the leading concert au-
ditoriums have donated the use of the halls free
of charge to the association and the contests
will be presided over by persons prominent in
music. The time and place for the holding of
the final city contest, when medal winneis will
receive their presentations, will be announced
later.
Among this year's musical stars, according to
Miss Lowden, are Jack Atherton, a six-year-old
pianist, who won the gold medal in the violin
contest two years ago; Stephen Hero, ten, vio-
linist, and Ethel Heeren, a soprano, who is blind.
A nominal fee will be charged for the con-
tests. Many who will be unable to attend, it is
said, have purchased tickets, to aid the associa-
tion raise the $50,000 required to meet this year's
expenses and the preliminary expenses for the
proposed contests next year.
W. A. Quincke & Co., 430 South Broadway,
Los Angeles, Cal., publishers of "Mexicali
Rose," are fast making this number as popular
in other sections of the country as they origi-
nally succeeded in doing in the Pacific Coast
territory. The Quincke organization has hooked
up co-operation on "Mexicali Rose" in many
sections of the East, which should help send
this meritorious offering to further success in
Eastern territory. The number is to be fea-
tured at the Shrine Convention held in Philadel-
phia in June. The Al Malaikan Temple Band Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra to Appear

New Marks Fox-Trot
"I'm Just a Wall Flower" (Waiting for
Someone to Call) is the unique title of a new
fox-trot just accepted for publication by the
Edward B. Marks Music Co. The number was
written by Bill Frisch, Roy Bergere and Jack
Pepper, of the "Gay Paree" team, Salt and
Pepper. The number is another of the "lone-
some" series, but the clever wall-flower idea
makes its title and lyrics distinctive from the
mass of other songs of that description.
Whiteman Wins in London
LONDON, ENC, May 20.—At the recent Paul
Whiteman concert 5,000 persons were turned
away from Albert Hall. This has brought forth
various comments from London music critics,
some of which make reference to the fact that
Elgar and other famous composers, among Eng-
land's greatest, cannot approach the crowds
attracted by the American jazz exponent.
The music program of Philadelphia's Sesqui-
centennial International Exposition, which
opened Monday and will last until November 30,
is under the direction of a committee of 100
Philadelphia musicians, headed by Dr. Herbert
J. Tilly.
The Philadelphia Orchestra of more than one
hundred men, under the direction of Leopold
Stokowski, is the official exposition orchestra.
